In the context of nanotechnology, EOMs are pivotal for several reasons:
Miniaturization: Advances in nanotechnology allow the creation of nanoscale EOMs, which can be integrated into compact photonic circuits. Performance: Nanoscale EOMs can achieve higher modulation speeds and lower power consumption, crucial for high-speed data communication. New Materials: Nanotechnology enables the development of novel materials with enhanced electro-optic properties, such as metamaterials and graphene.
